We are terminally cool. If you turned to p112 of the 15 May issue of Grazia magazine (their first birthday issue), you’d see an article on “rurbanites” – hipsters who build trendy vegetable gardens in their back yards, raised ones, in on-trend pallet boxes, if space is a problem, or rambling ones, definitely using organic soil and compost and manure, shoo, between an orchard of nut and fruit trees.

What a brilliant weekend.   You'd never hear me saying that usually after a weekend like this. Sean works almost every day of the year (ja, but "only" a couple of hours on the weekends, most weekends) and some weekends, when he's on call for what seems like all of Joburg and surrounds, it gets pretty devoid of adult company round our place.   I always try to reason out our predicament - http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/JouMaSeBlerrieBlog/~3/q402DlqZ2LE/clamber-clubbing-for-babies.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Margot)5<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/JouMaSeBlerrieBlog/~4/q402DlqZ2LE" height="1" width="1"/>http://joumaseblerrieblog.blogspot.com/2012/11/clamber-clubbing-for-babies.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251698334067836806.post-4390365968206649671Thu, 15 Nov 2012 09:17:00 +00002012-11-15T11:17:21.568+02:00Lingerie satire, and why parents don't get Sundaynightis So the kind folks at Ackermans briefed me to write a story about lingerie.
